PAIN: A 3 Workshop Series

Exploring New Ways to Understand and Relate to Pain

Sundays - 3-5 pm in person or on Zoom

12th October

9th November

7th December 

 

Pain — it’s not a word many of us like to hear, and it’s certainly not something we enjoy feeling. But pain, in its many shapes and forms, doesn’t always give us the choice to ignore it.

In this three-part workshop series, join Claire — myofascial release therapist and myofascial yoga teacher — to explore the nature of pain and how we can work with both body and mind to meet it with more awareness, compassion, and ease 

This offering is designed as a series so that we can gently build trust and understanding over time — with ourselves, with the practices, and with one another. By returning each session, we create a more supportive and grounded environment for meaningful change.

We’ll explore the science of pain, learn practices that support nervous system regulation, and explore how to shift our relationship with pain — even when the pain itself doesn’t change.

 
The Workshop Series Will Include:

  • Myofascial yoga and gentle movement

  • Mindfulness and breath-based practices

  • Tools to explore pain-free or less-painful movement

  • Foundational insights from pain science

  • A supportive and inclusive environment

  • The chance to return each session to deepen your connection with the work and build safety through familiarity

 

What to Expect

Part 1: Understanding Pain

  • What is pain, really?

  • An introduction to modern pain science

  • SIMs & DIMs (Safety-in-Me and Danger-in-Me cues)

Part 2: Experiential Practices

  • Creating an internal resource for support

  • Gentle, mindful movement (myofascial yoga)

  • Guided meditation and breathwork

Part 3: Integration & Self-Care

  • Bringing together what we’ve learned

  • Creating your own sustainable self-care practice

All participants will also receive a recording of each session.

Who Is It For?

Everyone is welcome — especially those currently living with pain. Whether your pain is physical, emotional, or somewhere in between, this series offers a safe space to explore new approaches.

Claire is offering this workshop in a hybrid format, so you can join in-person or online, depending on what feels best for you.

If you’re attending in person, please let Claire or The Secret Space team know if you need any adaptations — such as a chair, the option to lie down, or anything else that would help you feel more comfortable.

 

Feel free to bring cushions, blankets, or anything that helps you settle in.
